Sleeping Diary
I always carried my diary beside my bed, not for the usual reason of writing down incidents of the day, but for something far more frivolous. I entitled it "Sleeping Diary." It all started on one lazy Sunday afternoon when my mom began recounting stories of her dreams during childhood, funny sleep habits, and those half-awake moments she forgot by morning. She suggested I write down whatever I could remember the next morning as about my own dreams or sleep adventures, and thus my little project was born.

Ten Years Gone...
NOTE: I wrote this ten years ago. Since then, I had two husbands pass away and moved four times. Now I'm deep into middle age and more settled in myself; I'm in a much better place mentally. But the world...hasn't changed. In light of current U.S. and world events and the recent election it's wild how it's still relevant. I could have written this yesterday. I saved it in an email draft, and came across while cleaning out old messages.

Emperor's Strategy, Ch.16. AI-Generated.
The essay for Chapter 16. Two figures, seated in an ornate chamber adorned with subtle fragrances and dimly flickering lanterns, engaged in a silent battle of strategy and wit. The quiet ambiance was punctuated only by the click of polished stones against a wooden board. Their postures, while composed, betrayed an undercurrent of tension. One man, calm yet watchful, carried himself with a natural air of authority, his every movement suggesting control. The other, quieter and more reserved, concealed layers of emotions beneath a cool exterior. Together, their interplay hinted at a history rife with unspoken bonds and invisible chasms. The game progressed, and their conversation delved into an array of topics—arts, governance, and the delicate nuances of relationships. One sought to probe, employing questions like subtle weapons, attempting to unravel the other's guarded emotions. In return, the latter responded with measured detachment, offering only glimpses of vulnerability. A fleeting memory from years past surfaced during their exchange. It was of a boy wandering through snow-covered courtyards, a boy whose cries for help had gone unanswered. The reminiscence brought a brief crack to the silent facade, but the moment quickly passed, sealed by a refusal to dwell on what could no longer be altered.
